[555Phyllis]

im a mommy of 2 i wish i could of had it drug free but im not that good with a lot of pain maybe its something to consider next time. i didn't have any complications and its sounds fun and interesting.

I just had my second natural childbirthing experience three weeks ago. Both my deliveries were a great experience! I agree with you that all you need is confidence in yourself and your body. Ofcourse there's pain, but if you invite the pain (and try to relax and breathe slowly) instead of fight the pain, it's all very bearable. Nice video of how a childbirth can be! Both my deliveries were vertical (kneeling position) as I couldn't bear laying down. I found that very comfortable

[100rrh]

do you have video of the actual birth?

[considereden]

@100rrh Unfortunately, no. My mother was the video recorder person, and did the whole thing.... afterwards found out she hadn't pressed record the whole time. Yeeaaahhhhh.

[100rrh]

@considereden that's a shame. Mothers! Maybe your next baby you can record.

@considereden that would have pissed me off!

[considereden]

@Helicopterpilot16 It was upsetting, but I did my best to be thankful since I had a perfect healthy baby, and a beautiful birth experience.

[Helicopterpilot16]

@considereden how old is the baby?

[considereden]

@Helicopterpilot16 Toddler aged. :)

Hi I'm another Momma who had an amazing home birth, and am now a natural chilbirth instructor.

I think that one of the most important factors in having such a great birth is having faith and confidence in the magnificent power of your body to give birth perfectly on it's own. Sometimes faith has to be acquired, and the beautiful thing is that seeing is believing. We are so lucky to have such great videos that prove just how capable we are!

How did you acquire faith in natural birth?

[considereden]

@mynaturalchildbirth God. :) :) :)

Your way strong then I will ever be.

[considereden]

@frieda1889 You are a woman! The strength is in there- you just have to find it. And once you do, you will feel POWERFUL! I don't want to have another child for 5 years, but the one thing that really makes me want to have one sooner is the childbirth experience itself! So wonderful.

[frieda1889]

@considereden Thats true. Im 35 and I have never had a baby. I have polycystic overies so I will have to do invetro. I truely admire any woman who has had a child or children.

my baby is due in 8 weeks, im so nervous and i hear other peoples horror stories too much :(

[considereden]

@Minyadagniriel My son's birth was the most magical experiences of my life. Where are you planning to birth?

[Minyadagniriel]

@considereden

im having my baby in a hospital because my doctor is very nice and my mom will be there with me along with my husband. my mom is very knowledgeable in the medical field and she will make sure my wishes are taken care of. :) im still nervous about trying to go without meds though.

[considereden]

@Minyadagniriel

I cannot attest to being made to lie down while in labor, so I can't offer much advice in that area. I can tell you that the birth was amazing, though, very intense, but I loved being inside the "pain/intensity"... it was very empowering and moving. I can tell you that I had to be up moving around most of the time, though. I would have lost it just sitting down- another plus was being able to eat some food at 9 centimeters dilated. That was the best freaking chicken! :)

[Minyadagniriel]

@considereden

im hoping my doctor will let me eat...my mom will probably sneak me food if im not allowed lol XD

[Barbika84]

@Minyadagniriel you should not listen to them believe to your doctor and your self and they should not telling you that stories in your condition, they should tell you a good the good suggestion is solely, good for you try to do not listen to them and when they start to talking something like that simply say i do not wish to listen that believe me it is for your good and good of the your baby that is my advice for you.

[runner4life2010]

that was amazing!!!!! you were so calm!! and you were smiling!!! awesome!!!!!

[considereden]

It was awesome! And yes, I was pretty calm. I was just enjoying the intensity of the experience.  :)

[Hans021220]

Congratulations!God bless your little babyboy!

[Hans021220]

Did you get a boy or a girl?

[considereden]

@Hans021220 Boy!

[jahspromise]

You did a wonderful job!! :)

I've had six babies (two were twins), and I did it without drugs too. LaMaze REALLY helped me!

[dolphinsweet]

I'm now pregant with my second baby due in october, I intend to go natural, I did however had pethedine with first child but had an allergy reaction to it, I don't think it made things better so I'm going to do the hot showers and walks and hopefully all goes to plan.

[considereden]

Things will go fine, just have confidence in yourself! You can do it!

[CutieMissJoker]

@dolphinsweet wow, you're really brave! i couldn't go natural x
